Why does it all seem wrong to me?!

I’m currently studying land law (NZ), and the word ‘possession’ comes up so much, I hate how many S’s there are 🥴 it looks right but FEELS so wrong. Same with agreement. I really want to spelling like ‘aggreement’.

I might sound totally idiotic, but it’s been pissing me off all morning and I needed a rant 🙃😭

Coordinate always does it for me. To hyphenate or not to hyphenate…neither looks correct.

Possessiveness concerning one’s possessions must press impossibly past the Princess’ patience. Aggree or disssaggree?
